Cook the Beef and Shrimp
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef slices and shrimp with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

In the same skillet, cook shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Pink Sauce
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in white wine (or chicken broth) to deglaze the pan. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Add marinara sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.
Combine Everything
Return the beef and shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
